In today's news, I took out a flight for my replacement to come into the office on Monday! His name is Elder Jensen, he's going to do an amazing job! I can't believe I have four transfers in the office hahaha. All the missionaries I meet say I've been in the office forever, but I feel like it's been so little time! I'll send you a picture of Elder Jensen next week, we were trained by the same missionary the two of us. Elder Mozo trained us both, I'm gonna have my brother up in the office representing the Mozo family! I'm going to be training him for two weeks then I'll be off in the field! I am super super excited to be a field missionary again, I'm going to have more than 3 hours to proselyte now haha.
As far as the area goes we are still hopeful! We got iffy news and some super great news with Valeria. Iffy news is that her baptism had to be pushed back a week due to scheduling conflicts with the baptismal interview. Super great news is that she's still super excited to be baptized!! She is ending 1st Nephi! She's reading a whole bunch haha. Other area news, we talked to this one guy in our ward named Brother Rodriguez. He is a returned missionary, he was an AP in his mission he definitely made that clear haha, and he told us about something he did in his mission called burning streets. It's where we go on a street and we knock on every single door in the street. We have been having a lot of success with it! We get like a good 2 future investigators every time we do it for 30 minutes. Really does pay off. So that's what we are going to be doing to find more people over these next few days. That way we can continue keeping our baptisms up over these next few months. We are really excited with how much the members have been helping us fellowship our investigators.
Hey. Did you see it? Did you see the miracle? I'm talking about this: https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/season-three-filming-book-of-mormon-videos That's right. THEY RELEASED AN OFFICIAL BOOK OF MORMON TRAILER!!! We are definitely going to show our investigators the trailer to get them fired up about reading the book! So what they are planing on doing is on the 20th of September, Friday they are going to release season 1 episode 1 of the Book of Mormon series. They are going to release one new episode every week from the 20th until the end of the year!!!!! And that's just two seasons!! That covers up until Enos! I'm so excited!
This P-day we are probably going to watch a movie, the APs are in Ayacucho for a zone conference and interviews over there with President and Sister Richey so it's just us four today. I hope you guys have a great week! Read this talk for FHE or something, I got the lesson this week hahaha https://speeches.byu.edu/talks/jeffrey-r-holland/remember-lots-wife/ It talks about a lot of things, like when we make big changes in our life we should go back to where we were, rather just look at what the future brings.
Thanks for reading this note! I'll do a bit better about photos this week! I love you all!! I pray for all of you!
Con mucho amor,
Elder Olsen
